Insurance paying for protein drinks....
I had the same fear, but they are pretty good. Even the vanilla. It's thinner than the powder I was using. But all in all for the price ( free ). I like them. Did not get the vitamins because they said they were liquid. But I had read on here somebody got the chewables from them.

The Vicodin haze has faded, I survived surgery
Happy to hear you made it through and are home. I was reading your story and I had to laugh, it reminded me of when I was taken to the OR. I was transferring to the operating table and all of a sudden I had this instant high. I looked at the male nurse and he said he put a sedative in my IV. I said. "Well aren't you a sneaky little devil!" And then lights out. The next thing I remembered was being wheeled to my room.

Checking in
Happy to hear you are home! I know what you mean about the fluid, they pumped an extra 10# of fluid in me before I left the hospital!! I was quite disappointed when they weighed me before I left the hospital and I was 10# heavier than before surgery!! But I had trouble getting my fluids in for the first week so I was thankful for the extra, I did not get dehydrated! Good luck to you and be well!!

When is it okay to start exercising?
I walked right away. I was released to do any strength training for 6 weeks. I would go to the gym and walk on the track. Then I progressed to the treadmill. I could have walked outside on some days but wanted to stay in the routine of going to the gym.
